Taste of the Trail and Auction – October 9, 2014

The Winnipesaukee River Trail Association will be hosting our annual Taste of the Trails with an auction on Thursday October 9, 2014 at the Mojalaki Country Club in Franklin, NH from 5 PM to 8 PM. This is the fifth year we are doing this. These events have always been a great success due to the caring and generous citizens and businesses that have supported our efforts to raise monies to maintain the Winni River Trail, a five-mile pedestrian/biking trail linking Tilton, Northfield and Franklin along the Winnipesaukee River. Many restaurants from the surrounding area will hand out samples of their specialties and beer and wine will be available for sale. Activities include a silent auction and live auction with products and services donated by our supporters.

Current event sponsors include:

Pike

Beck and Belucci

Highlands Mtn. Bike Park

Rowell’s Sewer and Drain

Tilton-Northfield Rotary

Franklin Savings Bank

Eurasian

Quantum Construction

Tilton Trailer

Businesses that sponsor our Taste of the Trails event for $250 or higher will receive special recognition in our Event Program, our Facebook page, and on our website.
